Home Sick Lyrics and music by Joe Merrick © 2007

This is my rusty industrial town
These are my childhood kick ball streets
I’ve been sucking down dark brown beer
Stumblin round wondering why I’m still here

I keep rewinding to the good old days
When you once made me complete
But I’m living black and white reruns
And there’s no happy ending for me

Cause you tainted this town with my best memories
Everywhere I look I see you without me
Got to get the next train out of here quick
My own home town is making me home sick

I used to love this dirty old club
Even had my name carved on a barstool
Now everyone’s a familiar stranger
Even my boozin buddies from high school

I lie awake with sounds of nobody
Never thought you’d be gone for too long
I guess you left a ghost of a guarantee
So I guess I’ll finally be moving on
